Healthcare professional associations (including national ones, as well as regional/state, certifying, news, and social, and SKIPTA social networks), represent a collection of professionals who work towards the common goal of promoting and improving the medical profession they are associated with. These healthcare organizations champion their members by providing resources, information and opportunities they might have not had otherwise.
